Abstract
One of my primary objectives going into this summer was to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the realities of physical labor, an essential aspect of applied science in the field, especially in conservation work. Although I have always enjoyed working with my hands and challenging myself with outdoor activities, my professional experience in this area was limited. The job met this objective right away, starting with a backcountry overnight trip, or spike. Our task involved camping out for four days while assisting in a grid search through a conserved natural area for lost DNR materials. It was important to find these items, not just for their financial and functional value to the DNR, but for their potential negative impact on the ecosystem they were lost in.
